P A Meyer1, P G Watson, W Franks, P Dubord.   

Abstract

'Pulsed' immunosuppressive therapy, using methylprednisolone with or without cyclophosphamide, has effectively controlled severe destructive corneal and scleral disease that had been unresponsive to oral steroids. Thirty-seven patients have been treated in this manner and the results, complications and possible mechanism of action are discussed.
